6. Atthapahudama
There are eight Pāhudas composed by Kundakunad. They are Aṣṭapāhuda- Damsana P huda, Caritta P huda, Sutta P huda, Bodha P huda, Bh va P huda, Mokkha P huda, Linga P huda, Sila P huda. rutas garasuri wrote a Sanskrit commentary on the first six P hudas only. All the P hudas in fact are independent and significant works dealing with different important topics. Of these, the Caritta P huda and Bodha P huda are more systematic. The Bh vap huda keeps the importance from technical terms and mythological stories.
Damsana P huda contains 36 g thas dealing Right faith. The Caritta P huda contains 44 G thas discussing about the cultivation of Right conduct and its eight virtues. Sutta P huda (27 G thas) is related to the S tras given by Arhantas and Ga adharas. A S tra (the sacred text) is not lost in Sams ra. The Nirgrantha type of asceticism is said to be the best one and the women are forbidden from accepting severe types of penances and asceticism such as nakedness. Bodha P huda (62 G th s) deals with about eleven topics such as y tana (spiritual resorts), Caityagraha (holy edifice), Padim (image), Dar ana (faith), Jinabimba (the idol of Jina), Jinamudr (the appearance of Jina), Jň na (knowledge), Deva (the pure soul), Tirtha (the holy resorts), Arahanta (Jina), and Pravrajy (Asceticism). The last two g thas are very important from the standpoints of kundakunda's life and his discipleship of Bhadrab hu. Bh va P huda (163 g th s) is related to the Bh va (purity of psychic state of mind). The Bh va is of three types, pure (uddha), auspicious (ubha) and inauspicious (A ubha) which are called Upayoga. In order to get rid of the Karmas one should reflect on the nature of self, which is embodiment of knowledge and consciousness. Mokkha P huda (106 G th s) deals with the Param tmahood realizing which souls attains liberation. Limga p huda (22 g th s) discusses the appearance of monk and other. ila P huda (40 G th s) deals with the conduct, which is an important factor of spiritual life.
